This $142,723 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will support a 36-month collaborative research study examining how residents of border regions adapt their behavior in response to environmental changes such as shifts in temperature and precipitation patterns.

The research team, led by scholars at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley and the University of Delaware, will utilize ethnographic research methods including document review, participant observation, interviews, and surveys to investigate how border-specific attributes like surface flooding, increased surveillance, and informality influence environmental adaptation. The findings aim to expand theoretical and empirical understanding of how border environments shape adaptation to environmental change, and to provide regional, state, and federal policymakers with high-resolution data to inform decision-making. No sub-awards are planned under this grant, which is scheduled to run from August 1, 2025 through July 31, 2028.
